Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North in the Senate, has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for prioritizing power retention over the state’s development, declaring that its 25-year dominance in Delta will end in the 2027 general elections.
Nwoko made this statement over the weekend in Idumuje Ugboko, Aniocha North Local Government Area, following his recent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He accused PDP leaders of focusing on personal interests rather than the well-being of the people, describing the party’s long rule as holding Delta “hostage” and stifling political competition.
“Delta State has failed to experience the necessary development for meaningful economic growth,” Nwoko stated, adding that PDP’s dominance had left residents with no alternative but to endure stagnation.
The senator compared Delta’s political landscape to that of the United States, where power alternates between parties to foster progress.
He vowed to end what he described as “political slavery” in the state and said his move to APC was a step toward real change.
Nwoko also advocated for the creation of Anioma State, arguing that it would grant Delta North greater autonomy and opportunities.
He accused the PDP-led state government of opposing the proposal and preventing open discussions on the matter.
Expressing confidence in APC’s leadership at both state and federal levels, Nwoko asserted that Anioma State would eventually become a reality, ensuring political and economic freedom for Delta North.
